I'm rethinking my pricing lately… and instead of staring at a spreadsheet, I built myself a mini pricing calculator to answer the classic freelancer question:
“How much should I charge?” 🤔
I used Builder to create it and it factors in:
1. Experience level
2. Project type (tailored to web designers / web devs)
3. Complexity level
4. Timeline
5. NDA
Not perfect but loved to give Builder a try! Obviously take it with a pinch of salt but here's the link if you want to try it out :D

This is wonderful. Can you make one for designers like me who mostly deal with flyers ?
Thanks man! You could give it a try yourself with Builder - the calculator I made took less than 30 mins 😄
Hey @Luca Da Corte , have you seen this one ?https://wfcalculator.webflow.io/calculator
It’s made for Webflow, but it could still be a good for inspiration.

perfect design
Ah very nice! Nope, didn't know about this one :D
tried this out, this is great Luca!
Thanks Monserrat 🤍
great work
Thanks man!
perfect design
Thanks man!
Add yourself a buffer for additional work and time that is ALWAYS unexpected. Maybe throw in a 7 to 12 percent bump.
Deffo! Tho I did try to keep the prices already on the medium-to-higher end, but then obviously it comes down to each specific project and preferences
Thanks 🙏🏻
this is pretty sweet! love how the nuances like urgency and NDA add premiums to the price, well done!
Appreciate it man 🙏🏻
The UI is not as clean as your UI calculator I saw in the community, but trying to improve :D
This is perfect Luca, I wonder if there's some alternative for AI related automation projects
You could try vibe-coding one with Builder like I did 👀
Cool but then the question is, where do you find the clients that would pay that as a freelancer (Just saying Contra is not an option)? 🤔
Well, they can come from everywhere! I got very big projects from Contra and from various other sources - every lead gen method works, you just need to get good at it :D
Nice!
Thanks :D
pretty useful
Glad to hear that :D
Dude this is golden!
Thanks man 🤍
Tried it out and it's dope.
Appreciate it 🙏🏻
Where to find clients who would pay such?

Looks great
Thanks!
Nice! Can you actually breakdown how did you calculated these numbers?
Thanks man! Apart from the multipliers I didn't really use any formula (because there is no one-size-fits-all pricing scheme), so I just tweaked till it sounded reasonable :)
That's a nice project, thanks for sharing Luca!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Looks great, but calculated prices a bit too low (at least for me) 😅
Well, great to hear you are killing it : D
Glad to hear 🙏🏻
My pleasure :)
This is awesome! Will give it a try.
This is brilliant, Luca! 💡 Pricing is always the toughest question for freelancers. Love that you built a tool to solve it systematically instead of guessing. The fact that it factors in experience level and project type makes it so practical. Would love to try it out! Great use of Builder too. 🚀
This is super useful!
This is amazing!
Hell yeah!
Gotta try that!
amazing, super handy! 🔥
